What Exactly Is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation can be described as the condition where a man ejaculates (or 'comes') too soon during sex with his partner. Sometimes this happens even before any direct stimulation of the penis occurs. Though these conditions are often rare but there have been many cases where just thinking about a sexually stimulating situation can trigger ejaculation. These cases are very few and require a long and systematic treatment. However in most of the cases, it is more common for ejaculation to occur either during or very soon after penetration.

There is no universally accepted definition of premature ejaculation to determine an ideal time of ejaculation for all men. Studies have shown that ejaculation often occurs within two minutes of penetration. However, some men tend to last much longer and some ejaculate much quicker. The important point to remember is that if ejaculation occurs sooner than the man and his partner wishes and this is causing distress in the sexual relationship, then, it can be regarded as 'premature' or 'rapid'.The wishes of both the partners must always be taken into account as what the man considers premature may not be considered the same by his partner.

Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual problems affecting men. In fact it not actually a problem in most of the cases. Most men experience premature ejaculation at some time and it is often attributed to too much excitement after having sex for the first time or after a long time. Since our brain control all the reflexive phenomenon in our body, in the moments of great excitement it often signals for a ejaculation that occurs prematurely.

However, normally as the man become accustomed to having sex with his partner,, his brain itself acquire an ability to prolong the experience and the ejaculation becomes controlled and prolonged. It can become a problem when this situation of premature ejaculation is repeated in most sexual situations. Studies have shown that it is highly prevalent across all socio-economic groups and more than 40% of men are affected from it at some point of time in their life.

The best way to determine whether you are suffering from premature ejaculation or not is to observe and note your performance during sex for at least one month. If you think that even after maintaining a healthy and regular sexual life for one month, your ejaculation does not seems to be in control and you are ejaculating sooner than expected, then you can assume that you are suffering from the problem of premature ejaculation.
